Shotgun Tom to get "star" on Hollywood walk

Radio personality “Shotgun Tom” Kelly is about to have his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The K-Earth101 FM show host was among honorees for 2013 announced Thursday. Kelly says he is both honored and humbled to join such luminaries as film’s Javier Bardem, Ron Howard and Helen Mirren, TV’s Ellen DeGeneres, Jane Lynch and Matthew Perry and singers Jennifer Hudson, Janis Joplin and Usher, who also will get stars. A graduate of Mount Miguel High School and former S.D. radio DJ, Kelly still calls El Cajon home and commutes to Los Angeles weekly. The unveiling of his star will be next year.

Street seen: Dave Keuning, lead guitarist for alternative rock band, The Killers, was just another Gaslamp customer Thursday. When the songwriter (“Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me”) and friends stopped in Quality Social that evening, Keuning gamely downed the club’s signature pickleback shot, a shooter of Jameson whiskey chased down with a house-made pickle brine.

Catered affair: Lisa Richards and her Festivities Catering company have been a staple at private events throughout San Diego for 28 years. Now her culinary touch is on display every day at The Bristol Hotel, which put her in charge of its food and beverage service in its newly renovated restaurant and lobby bar. The First Avenue Bar & Grille, formerly Daisy’s Bistro, officially opened Wednesday with Richards promising power breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Wonder-ful news: Former City Councilwoman Sue Braun says her Washington D.C. grandkids, ages 6, 8 and 10, were researching the Seven Wonders of the World while visiting recently. So, they decided to designate the Seven Wonders of San Diego, where the family vacations every summer with Sue and her husband, Dick.

Their list? Legoland, SeaWorld, the Zoo, Souplantation, Inflatable World in Mission Valley, and Geppetto’s toy store in Fashion Valley. The Seventh Wonder? Their grandparents’ house, of course. It appears they, too, have a political future ahead.
